Dynamic Web Templates don't seem to work as advertised

[Guest]

I've just started to experiment with Dynamic Web Templates (FP2003)

When I *remove* a Dynamic Web Template from a very simple text page, none
(zero, zip) of the DWT formatting is removed from the page.

It's a "file system" web, and the DWT will update the pages with no problems
when attached to them.

Can anyone give me a clue as to what is the likely problem?

TIA

That is by designed, it is not a bug.

Detaching a DWT will not remove content applied from the DWT. One way to do
this is:

DWT stripper:

Create a new, blank page and save as a DWT (strip.dwt)
Create editable regions to match those on your original DWT (original.dwt)
Do not place any other content on the page.
Apply strip.dwt to the page(s) you want to remove original.dwt from.
Then detach the DWT from the page.

Result: All traces of original.dwt removed.
